NFTA Metro Participates in UB Sustainability Living Fair

On Tuesday, September 16, the
University of Buffalo held its sixth annual Sustainability Living Fair in the
Student Union at North Campus. There were approximately 30 vendors on site to
promote and discuss services that help improve the environmental impact within
Western New York.Staff from the Niagara Frontier
Transportation Authority participated in the fair and provided information on
NFTA’s sustainability and “going green” efforts including the use of green
shelters, eco-friendly Metro vehicles, and electric charging stations at both
the Buffalo and Niagara Falls Airports. Materials were also available on
Metro's Transit Options and Metro Perk programs.

There was an estimated attendance of
350 people at the event, and it was exciting to see many individuals
specifically interested in alternative transportation methods to further help
reduce our region's carbon footprint.
